St. Patrick’s Day is a great holiday for children! It is such a magical day full of shamrocks, leprechauns, and pots of gold at the ends of rainbows, all of which naturally lend themselves to fun and creative craft projects like these 15 Wonderful St. Patrick’s Day Rainbow Crafts.

One of my favorite things about these projects is how versatile they are. Each project is simple enough that young children can enjoy them, but creative enough that older children and adults will have fun with them too.

Many of these craft ideas are made with simple items you already have around your house. Some are made with more specialty items, like Perler Beads or ribbons, but in my house, these items are common place.

I am also a big fan of activities that spark creativity and a sense of wonder in children and these 15 Wonderful St. Patrick’s Day Rainbow Crafts are perfect for that. So whip up a batch of some yummy green goodies, play and sing some Irish folk songs, and get busy making beautiful rainbows! But make sure to keep an eye on your surroundings. All that fun and frivolity might just capture the attention of a leprechaun or two!

15 Wonderful Rainbow Crafts For Kids

One thing you can say about St. Patrick’s Day – there certainly are a lot of pesky leprechauns running about. Fortunately, these 15 Sneaky and Adorable Leprechaun Traps will give you and your children some great ideas for catching one!

Leprechauns are very sneaky and smart, so your only hope of catching one is to build a trap that is equally sneaky. Last year, my son and I built this LEGO Leprechaun Trap together. However, the Leprechaun still got away (wink, wink!).

Now take a look at these additional 15 sneaky and adorable leprechaun traps that will inspire you to come up with the perfect trap of your own! The best traps use household objects in creative ways, because leprechauns get suspicious if you go out shopping for a bunch of new stuff. You also want to make sure you bait it attractively – with glittering goodies, pennies, green candy, and/or cereal (Lucky Charms is a popular choice).

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! In honor of the occasion my son and I decided to build a fun Leprechaun Trap to catch the Big Guy on his special day! So I perused the internet to find an easy Leprechaun Trap that we could make together and found this very cool LEGO Leprechaun Trap on EastCoastMommy.com. I already had all the supplies on hand, so it was super easy.
